FMB1YX the device will send the newest records first when Newest is selected in Records Settings, which is useful in cases when the most important parameter set is the most recent one, as a result, other records will be sent right after the newest records are received by AVL application.

If FMB1YX has already sent all records it waits for the new records before closing the link (except for Deep Sleep mode, for more information refer to Template:FMB Sleep modes#Deep Sleep mode).

This option is useful when GSM operator charges for link activation.
Server Response Timeout is used to set a period of time waiting for the response from the server-side.
